H5 Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 i agree wiv wot your sayin but me airbags wont work.......... if i need them..........! how difficult is it to get to the tensioner to check the connector plugs..???? See if you can find a friendly techy to show you. IIRC, the air bag circuit involves a number of connectors to the different components, if there's a break in that, none of it works as it can't detect the signal. I'd not recommend taking the bulb out!! But I can't believe it's the pretensioner itself, more likely the connections to it. After all, a pre-tensioner just sits there doing nothing until impact, so I can't see what could go wrong with it! Quote
stuey Posted December 30, 2006 Author Posted December 30, 2006 i can either......... i just need to get to the connectors somehow.............. Quote
stuey Posted December 31, 2006 Author Posted December 31, 2006 perhaps i should start by taking the seat out............ Quote
lomoto Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 perhaps i should start by taking the seat out............ let us know how you get on , I was thinking of swopping my seats at some stage Quote
stuey Posted December 31, 2006 Author Posted December 31, 2006 well if you do can i have your seat belt tensioner.......... Quote
lomoto Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 well if you do can i have your seat belt tensioner.......... You'll have to take pictures then to show what you need, bear in mind mine is the basic model with no leather or seat heaters Quote
stuey Posted December 31, 2006 Author Posted December 31, 2006 took the seats out no prob.......... took about 5 mins each.....i messed around with the connectors and investigated the tensioner ... i dont think that is the problem coz i thought the tensioner was supposed to have a gas cannister to be able to retract....... and there is no sign of one of those on the seat........ so im even more baffled now.......
